Just In Case You Need Reminding…

July 29, 2009 45 Comments

I bumped in to an AC Milan outside the ground today. I of course said sorry, to which he replied, “Do you remember that 3-0?”. Yes, you bastard, I do.

So how about we take a trip of our own down memory lane ahead of the Audi Cup final against Bayern Munich tomorrow…

    I’ll bet that same Milan fan was laughing on the other side of his face after watching his side get battered 4-1 by the Bayern B team.

    I think out the two positions you’d rather be in ours, we’ve got a young hungry team, what’ve they got?

    On the second goal, where Beckham goes to take the corner, he looks back and the photographer has to get out of the way to make room…you reckon we would’ve won the European cup if that photograher was never there, thus Beckham taking the corner a couple of milliseconds earlier, and players being in different positions etc. just a thought…

    Giggs with the shot………

    Into sheringham…………

    Fuck, I wish I was old enought to properly remember watching it. I was only 6 so I didn’t have a clue how important it was. Tiny Tears “slip” made up for it. That was brilliant. School the next day was perfect.

    My form teacher weren’t there so we went on the laptop, put it on the projector screen, and got the shoot-out up on YouTube. Most of my mates are United so we just jumped around like the night before. My Chelsea mate was just sitting there watching 10 of us go absolutely insane. Priceless.

    I’m crying like a girl after watching it over again – but I do whenever I watch it.
    I was working in Berlin at the time – and at work, the day after watching the game on TV, we had some people from Munich to visit us.
    Boy did I rub their faces in it. I was running around like a crazy person for the entire day.

    It’s funny, one of my favourite moments in all o football history is the look on Lothar Matthaus’ face when the equaliser is scored.

    MUFC the Religion says:

    yeah the Chelsea final was surreal. I was so sure that Terry was gonna score. It was destiny that we won though.

    When I was watching it live, I was with my dad and my 10 United and my girlfriend. Probably the best night of my life so far. The first and only time anybody goes into school with a hangover.

    Best part of it was the morning after the final it was a non-uniform day. What do you think we wore.

    God I was too young to remember the final only about 6, though my father & my brothers had all the emotions I just copied them lol.
    But every time I watch this, I tear up & burst into tears, & i still jump up & go CRAZYYY when the two goals were scored.
    Loll Imagine tonight we losing 1-0. Then we come back& win 2-1.
    I’d just lOVE IT ..=]

    I was at Uni on campus which they’re just turning into the Olympic village. Ten utd fans packed in a room with two tvs n a fucking dipper, brilliant lass. I was going off me head in the last five minutes n she put her hand on me lap n said- ur gonna win this 2-1. The only dipper I won’t cuss because of that. What a nite, what a game, what a dream. That treble was done by a team that never knew they were beaten n gave all to the final whistle. Legends.

    Can’t belive, not having watched it for at least a year or two, it still can feel almost like when it was live. We are so fortunate to love a club like MUFC and have so many magic moments. (Think of the drama of the CLF2008!) And many more to come. Makes the tough times worth all the pain.

    I just watched the -99 clip on myspace (at work and can’t see youtube) and I just frooze… it’s over 10 years ago and it’s still gives you the shivers, an awesome feeling.

    I remember watching the shoot out last year and my oh my what a feeling when VDS got the last ball… fuck I nearly past out!

    I wanna see it again… and again… and again.

    Red blood, red heart MUFC

    Never got to see the ’99 final as I was living in a hostel with no tv :-s

    Last year, I had a really bad fight with the wife before the match and almost didn’t watch it! I had a ‘who cares who wins’ sort of feeling and went to bed… but I couldn’t sleep and finally got up and watched the match from the 30th min.

    What a night of nerves after that! I’m glad my better senses took over! :-)

    I was watching the UCL highlights again in November, of all the places… in mid-air while flying Air France… and I couldn’t resist shouting a small “Yay!” and swinging my arms around. All the passengers nearby kept giving me looks after that! :-D

    I was lucky enough to be at the Nou Camp in 99. I had my young daughter on my right and my young son on my left. 1-0 down and the clock saying 90 mins – we got a corner. After Teddy’s goal we went beserk – I was stood on my seat taking a picture of the flairs going off all around me, we got another corner.. and Ole struck. Never felt anything like that in my life and I know I never will again. The next day I had no recollection of Ole’s goal. I didn’t know why but all I could remember was the crazyness that followed it. When I got my film developed (it was 99), I had a snap of Ole’s leg stuck out and the ball hitting the roof of the net – that’s why I missed the goal. I have apologised to my kids since then – so early in their United supporting lives they’ll never ever have it better than that. God bless Fergie, God bless OGS.

    Greatest comeback in the history of football. People say Liverpool’s is comparable against AC Milan but that’s cobblers. Liverpool had a whole second half, extra time and penalties with which to avoid defeat. We had mere seconds. So we win!
